عن أبي يحيى صهيب بن سنان قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: «عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ المُؤْمِنِ، إنَّ أمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ، وليسَ ذاكَ لأَحَدٍ إلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ، إنْ أصابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ، فَكانَ خَيْرًا له، وإنْ أصابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ، صَبَرَ فَكانَ خَيْرًا له».
94 - Patience in adversity and expressing gratitude
Ṣuhayb ibn Sinān narrated that God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
1. Wonderful is a believer’s situation. Everything that happens to him is good, and this is so for none other than a believer.
2. If he encounters what is pleasant, he is grateful and this is good for him; 3. and if he suffers an adversity, he remains patient and this is good for him.
